Home of gang member hit by machine gun fire

GARDAÍ in Limerick are investigating two shooting incidents which happened early yesterday morning, including one targeting the home of a leading member of the McCarthy Dundon gang.

The home of John Dundon, 29, was blasted several times by machine gun fire at around 6am. Dundon, who had fled the country in the aftermath of the murder of Limerick rugby player Shane Geoghegan last November, had just recently returned home and presented himself to gardaí.

After talking to gardaí, Dundon was brought before Limerick District Court yesterday on public order offences for which an arrest warrant had been issued.
